Sewadar is a Punjabi word for a volunteer who offers his/her services to a Gurdwara or to the Community free of charge. It a term used to refer to a person who performs Sewa (Work, Service or assistance of any kind) without looking for any physical or spiritual reward or any payment of any kind for doing the Sewa. A Sewadar helps purely because of his/her dedication to Guru/God and as part of his/her duty to the wider community.
Gurbani explains very clearly the importance to a Sikh of performing this selfless-service (Sewa) to obtain peace and tranquillity and detachment in life:
| Center your awareness on seva (selfless service) and focus your consciousness on the Word of the Shabad. Do seva - selfless service; follow the Guru's Teachings, This body is softened with the Word of the Guru's Bani; In the midst of this world, do seva, |
